I can't stress this enough: Characters and events here are purely fictional.
Following his recent breakup, Gabriel Sherwood is in no spirit to compete in an international robotics competition, yet his allegiance to his team draws him out nonetheless. Locked for hours in a shopping mall, all is not what it seems at the robotics convention, as a group of racially diverse characters (because equality in 2017) try to escape with Gabriel and his colleagues, and events quickly take a turn for the macabre. With people going missing, monsters wandering around on every corner (yes, even Potato Corner) and the body count rising, Gabriel will have to do everything in his power to lead himself and his friends to safety. But the reality and fiction twists around to the point that even I, the author, do not know what is happe- Huh? I shouldn't say that too? Sorry. Cut that part out, Felix.
Can they find out what happened to everyone in this city full of corpses and monsters? Better yet, can they escape the horrors that await them? And can I avoid further clichés and being too meta in this synopsis?
[Third Revision Chapter1]
As of February 25, 2016, 7:30pm, Philippine Time, I have started revising Chapter 1 since it sounded sooo highschool. After revising my other short stories, I'll be set to continue this.
[Second Revision Complete]
As of September 17, 2014, 11:34pm, Philippine Time, slightly major revisions have been set, especially around Chapter 11.
Changelog:
-most chapters show more than tell now, but I do not guarantee a professional edit
-went through and corrected grammatical errors (though I might have missed a few)
-"decheesified" some dialogue that showed how high-school I was when I was writing this
-made some sentence structures less awkward
-currently deciding about why kept on breaking the fourth wall
Don't forget to vote and/or comment. A kangaroo in Australia loses its pouch everytime you don't. I forgot to say that in my early times here.
